Probing the UV to hard X-ray continuum of the Seyfert I galaxy Mkn 841

We propose to perform with XMM 2 repeated observations, at an interval ofmonths, of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mkn 841 in order to measure its spectrum fromthe UV to the medium Xray range, disentangling the different spectralcomponents in the UV, soft Xray and medium Xray bands, and compare differentspectral states. XMM will allow also to determine the shape and variability ofthe Fe 67 KeV emission complex, as well as the presence of other emission linespredicted in ionized reflection models. We intend to combine these observationswith simultaneous BeppoSAX hard Xray observations thus yielding the widestspectral coverage obtained up to now for a Seyfert galaxy. These observationsare crucial to elucidate the origin of the UV and Xray spectra and their truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
